A SUNDAY RIOT.
Three Hundred Men Beat Each Other with
Stones and Clubs Cause of the Tro uble.

WILKEsAARRE, Pa, Aug. 22.-A riot took
place yesterday, at Glen Lyon, five miles from
Nanticoke. in which three hundred miners were
engaged. The combatants were comprised of
men of all nationalities, Irishmen, Weshmen.
Hungarians and Poles being largely represent
ed Strangely enough, the occurrence in
spired by Methodist preacher named Taggart.
1t seems that it has been the custom of several
Hungarian and Polish merchants of Nanticoke
to send peddlers to Glen Lyon daily to supply
certain boarding house keepers. These latter. in
many instances, hired by young unmarried
men, who club and live together. They order
goods of the pedders, who trust them. sThe Sus-
quehanna Coal Company always selects Saturday
for pay day. Heretofore it has been their
tom to pay at Nanticoke Saturday. This
time. however, they paid the men at Glen Lyon,
or Morgantown on Sunday. Sunday has always
been chosen by the merchants the day for
making collections. Rev. Mr.. Taggart, of Glen
Lyon, has frequently preached against this
desecration of the Sabbath, and finally deter
mined TO put stop to it, if possible. Yesterday
he organized posse of his church members for
that purpose The men got wind of it. and
made up their minds TO resist any overtures OF
the kind. The collectors made their appear
ance and the natural excitement OF the moment
augmented by universal indulgence in
beer and whisky. As the day advanced the
churchmen became alarmed at the situation. and
kept themselves In hiding The feeling of antag-
onism was SO intense, however that it finally
eliminated in free fight between men of
opposite nationalities, maddened with drink
Soon 300 men were furiously engaged, with
sticks stones and clubs for weapons. The riot
lasted half an hour and men were struck down
on all sides Dozens were carried away with
cracked and bleeding heads to their homes A
few women mixed in the fray, and several of
them were badly beaten. The riot ceased only
when the participants were too few to carry 1T
on, the wounded requiring the attention of those
who did not return after they left the field. To-
day it is reported that over sixty of the rioters
are seriously hurt, many of them fatally. An
investigation will be made, with possible arrests

NEW YORK. Aug 22.-The lecture of DR.. Me-

for the benefit of the widows and orphans of .h at

aud clerical point of view. The efforts of por-
ton of the division to prevent the Doctor from
being invited TO lecture were unsuccessful, after
causing much comment. The latest phase of
the affair is that the eminent and venerable
priest Father Sylvester Malone, will probably
be present at the lecture. Father Malone
has long been known ardent
friend of DR.. McGlynn. but he has
hitherto refrained from openly indorsing the

The quarrel in the Hibernians over this mat
ter is attracting much attention in Brooklyn.
The friends of DR.. McGlynn assert that his op-
ponents are being instigated by boss McLaugh-

United Labor party.

CHICAGO AND VICTORIA.

The Queen Says the Address every Pretty"
and International Comfy Is Assured.
LONDON, Aug. 22.-Mr. Collier, Of Chicago,
was granted an audience by the Queen this af-
terneon, at Osborne House, when he presented
to her Majesty the address OF the Chicagoans
of British birth and parentage in honor of her
jubilee. In presenting the address Mr.. Collier
said: 'Your Majesty, in behalf of fifty thou
sand people of Chicago of British birth or par
entage, it gives me great pleasure to present to
you this congratulatory jubilee address.
Though separated far from tho mother land,
our hearts still beat warmly with love and ven-
Grafton for England's Queen"
The Queen replied: Il thank you and the
people you represent for this address, and you
personally for your kind words. My answer to
it you will find in this paper"
The Queen then handed document to Mr..
Collier, which read as follows: Il thank you for
the address you have presented to me. Coming,
as it does from persons of English birth beyond
the seas who retain feeling of love for their
mother country and sympathy with her well
fare. / receive it with peculiar satisfaction.
That the people of Chicago should have given
expression to these kind sentiments, not only
toward the Anglo-SaxGn race in these realms,
but also toward myself, is to be source of
much graft fcaton aud sustains me in the belief
that tho friendship and good which now ex-
list between the two countries, and which | have
always endeavored to promote, are of real and
enduring character"
The address included these words: Although
the signers proud to be citizens of the
United States, they do not forget their British
birth or parentsge"
AS Mr. Collier retired. the Queen, looking at
the covers of the address said ''It is very pref
ty." The Crown Princess of Germany was
present The whole proceeding is exsraordina-
ry in view of the Queen g absolute refusal to
personally receive English addresses unpub-
